Darin What is the width & height of the battery box ?. Will the Turnigy 4s 5000 lipos fit. http://hobbycity.com/hobbyking/store..._40C_Lipo_PackComment

Yup... I don't see why not. I think I mentioned above that I tried it with a ThunderPower 50C 5200 mah HardCase 4S1P pack yesterday and it fits in with room to spare... Balances correctly as well. Quite a bit of room in the battery area.Originally posted by rchippie View Post
If one wanted to substitute an aftermarket ESC for the stock one, then the shelf the ESC sits on could also be removed, (lay the ESC on the batteries or something) and I think one could fit TWO 4S packs in there, though I have no idea why you would want to do that...

Thats great i just wanted to make sure . Because the Turnigy 5000s are so wide compared to other lipos.Originally posted by Darin Jordan View PostYup... I don't see why not.

The ThunderPower pack is 45.2H x 46.5W x 138L... And there is still room above the pack. The Turnigy is 49H x 37W x 149L, so I think it should fit. Can always lay it on it's side.Originally posted by rchippie View PostDarin E. Jordan - Renton, WA

Looking at the picture, I am wondering whether those turnigy's will indeed fit. Mainly because the turnigy's have those big honking wires that feed out of the side which impedes the side to side width. I can barely squeeze them into a UL1 for the same reason.Originally posted by Darin Jordan View PostYup... I don't see why not.

I will break out the batteries(and account for the side wiring) with the ruler tonight and see or like Darin said you can lay them on their side.
Congrats on the Boat Darin!Last edited by electric; 06-17-2010, 09:03 AM.Comment

Darin i thought on your personel tests that the bj26 motor a36561500 really was around 1800kv, so is this new 1800kv version in this new boat really just the same thing?Comment

I'll try to setup my test bench again one of these days to get the actual numbers... It's definitely a new motor wind. I had them annodize it and the ESC a different color so they'd be easier to differentiate.
electric - The internal dimensions of the battery tray (Width and Height) are 2 3/8" and 2 3/8". There is right at 1" between the bottom of the tray and the bottom of the ESC platform as well. A 2S pack or a 6-cell NiMH pack will slide up under there...Darin E. Jordan - Renton, WA

The BJ is a low-RPM motor, much lower than the AC one.
Darin may have said he WANTED an 1800Kv motor. I know we had lots of e-mails going back and forth to get the 1800 he wanted in this one.
